}As I'm walking home from picking up coffee at Starbucks (it's only a block), I
}saw the most pathetic Miata.  The car was red (I think), but it was covered in
}mud and salt, it had a broken antenna, a smashed in rear bumper, and tape over
}the cracks in the rear window.  For all of you not in Chicago, we haven't had a
}salt truck on the streets in a while - I can't imagine how the car had so much
}salt on it.

}The car was parked at 1200 West Diversey at Lincoln Avenue in Chicago on Friday,
}March 1, 1996 around 3:00p.m. 

}Sorry to upset any fellow Miata owners, but is this pathetic or what???

Sounds like a car with character!
